To My Son, With Every Star

I paused… looked up

and the stars seemed closer,

as if heaven leaned in,

letting me whisper your name into the night.

I imagine you there, my sonshine,

dancing with your smile so wide,

your laughter echoing through the spaces

between light and time.

Every prayer, every tear, every heartbeat

I lift them to the sky,

trusting that love travels farther than distance,

and that souls never drift too far from home.

The stars have become my letters to you,

each one sealed with a kiss,

carrying my love beyond the clouds,

beyond words, beyond tears.

And when the night glows softly,

and the wind feels warm against my face,

I know it’s you.

God has allowed you to reach me, my love.

To infinity and beyond, my sonshine

where the stars carry our hearts,

and our love shines forever bright.
